How the tournament changed since 1955
- Until 1992, the tournament was known as the European Cup and had just 16 teams competing in four knockout rounds.
- In 1960, the tournament expanded to 32 teams.
- The 32 teams are split into eight groups of four. Each team plays the other three teams in their respective group in a double round-robin format.
- The winner and runner-up of each group progress to the round of 16, where teams will continue the normal knockout stage process.
